    One of my corps always did a Haunted House every Halloween season. Besides being a great fund raiser, (there's something for ya, SCV) it was a total blast to operate. 

     

    I loved playing the Wolfman in the strobe room of our “Haunted Hall”. Had guests literally crawling along the floor to get out of that room!

    So Adam Sage will continue in a Regiment design team role while serving as artistic director with the Cavaliers? 

    Sounds like it until Adam says otherwise. Don’t forget, Regiment got some “input” in 2005 from a very prominent guard designer to make “Rhapsody” such a fan friendly show. Such a fun run for the group from Rockford. To this day, one of my favorite interpretations of AIP to this day. Great magic!

    I think people having SCV in the bottom quarter of the top 12 is suss. Spirit only dropped a couple spots after taking a year off and SCV is still SCV with a great staff. There's plenty of talent that will want to work with that staff. 

    A drop for Regiment is possible IMO. They ultimately landed in 7th this year due to the lack of complexity in their program. They must up that complexity if they want to improve. Sometimes, you have drop in placement to really move up the rankings. Their show last year was one of my favorites and brilliantly designed. BUT, it didn't have the complexity to run with Cadets and Mandarins. 

    Of course, we all could be wrong but I thought the OP's predictions were the most realistic of any I have seen on here.

    Um, no. Regiment is working hard on forward momentum. Look at the 2023 season. It laid the groundwork for modernization that supports said forward motion. Don’t count them out of the hunt just yet.

    It also makes me wonder- could a bunch of CPAs successfully hide/cover up financial irregularities so other, third party CPAs would have a difficult time seeing it?  I’m not saying it is happening, but am curious.   

    Not sayin’ there is malfeasance going on here but it’s not looking totally legit either. I’m not holding my breath but I hope to he** they get their act together and soon.

    catch the final climax of this arrangement!

    hornline arrangers have so much to learn, borrow and steal from choral arrangements -

     

    Thank you. Their music is an out of body experience.

    Their collaboration on “The Lark Ascending” is breathtaking….but not in a drum corps way. God I love music.

  6. While not a “menace to society”, I was a bit of a PITA to my family. Drum corps showed me that it isn’t all about me but rather being a part of something bigger which gave me a sense of contributing to a bigger picture. This made all the difference in the world to me and this is now why I contribute what I can to keep that dream alive. I believe, with all my heart, this is still a basic tenet of the drum corps experience. It’s not always about chasing a ring. If you feel this opinion is a Dino waxing poetic…I’m sorry you missed out on what drum corps meant to me BITD.

  7. St. Patrick Imperials from Milwaukee (black, white and emerald green unis)  merged with the Cedarburg Thunderbolts (red white, and blue unis) needless to say, they were quite an interesting color combination. They were a blast to watch though.

    IIRC, Pioneer rose out of that merger.

    In the corporate call center world, we always say "The higher they go, the less they know."

    Having started my career in a telecomm call center, this is TRUTH. There’s a reason we called them “stupidvisors”

    Sorry folks…back to the topic at hand.
